YOUR SYDNEY MOBILE MASSAGE PRACTITIONER
Andrew Salvietti, Dip. RM, ATMS Hi, my name is Andrew Salvietti, I’ve been practicing as a Remedial Massage Therapist since 2002.
I completed my Diploma of Remedial Massage training in Sydney, and I am qualified in Remedial and Sports Massage. Soon after graduating, I started Sydney Mobile Massage.
For over 10 years I have also worked alongside chiropractors, further developing my skills, specialising in bio-mechanical & functional soft tissue techniques.
I’ve worked with a vast array of clients, from amateur and professional athletes to musicians, artists and people from all walks of life, helping them to improve the quality of their lives and ability to continue what they love doing.
Experience
In 2011 I volunteered teaching Remedial Massage for Seeing Hands Nepal, a not for profit, whose aim is to educate and empower young blind Nepalese by training and employing them in massage therapy. I continue to visit Nepal every year assisting in training new students and teaching advanced technique classes to the qualified therapists.
From 2003 to 2013 I worked for Steven Crome Chiropractic as a Chiropractic assistant, where I was exposed to a wide range of pathologies through a diverse clientele. I learned a lot of invaluable soft tissue techniques including looking at the body from a more holistic point of view.
Since 2012 to present I have contributed to Phoenix House Youth Services’ “Feel Good Night” program. PHYS are an NGO located in Crows Nest, Sydney, who provide early intervention and support services to the most challenged teenagers and young adults living in Sydney.

REMEDIAL MASSAGE
Remedial massage is a form of massage that works to remedy or fix a problem in your body. This may be an acute injury that has just occurred, a long lasting chronic problem that is always there or problems that may come up from time to time like headaches or muscle aches. It also has a profound effect on stress! As stress often manifests in the body as tension, by releasing the tension, stress is reduced, endorphins increased, and a sense of relaxation and well being ensue.
“Remedial Massage has a profound effect on stress” Remedial Massage is designed to elongate and balance muscle/soft tissue length which may assist in normalising and improving joint function. Massage also promotes the flow of blood and lymph, particularly to injured areas, thus reducing damaged cells, scar tissue and adhesions that may result from injury.
Remedial massage is the most useful and safest form of treatment for conditions such as joint sprains, muscle strains, tight muscles, aching muscles, limited movement, headaches, jaw pain, back and neck pain (including disc injuries), shoulder injuries and many more.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep tissue massage is exactly as it sounds. It is remedial massage that aims to affect more profound (deep) soft tissues. The main point of difference with deep tissue massage is the pressure and the speed. Generally the techniques used are the sames as remedial massage but are of a stronger, deeper and slower focus. The deeper the tissues you want to affect, then the slower the movement of massage. It can have quite immediate and long lasting effects on pain and tension. The pressure is always applied within the comfort levels of the patient.
Deep tissue massage is used in combination with a remedial massage treatment when and where needed.
SPORTS MASSAGE
Sports Massage incorporates a specialised focus on sports injury prevention and treatment.
Generally it is used for sports people or people who exercise regularly. Pre and post game massage will be a little less firm, using faster and longer strokes.
When treating an injury the massage techniques will be the same as Remedial massage.
It can help with injury prevention and reduce recovery time after exercise.
Sports massage is used in combination with a remedial massage treatment when and where needed.
ACTIVE FUNCTIONAL RELEASE
Active functional release is a broad term, used to describe when the soft tissues together with the associated joints are taken through their range of movement, whilst various massage techniques are applied.
The human body is a dynamic mobile living machine with multiple moving parts. The muscles, ligaments, tendons and fascia of the body have to accommodate many different lengths with a strong and unimpeded elasticity to absorb all forces comfortably, without them becoming excessively strained and hence inflamed.
When the body is massaged in the normal prone and supine positions, the soft tissue lengths acquired during treatment are limited by that position and even though there are improvements, this cannot be compared to the results attained, by moving the patient through range of movement that explores the end stage lengths of the soft tissues.
Active functional release massage is used in combination with a remedial massage treatment when and where needed.
“I was fortunate to have been gifted a massage from Andrew – the luxury of receiving a massage in my own home was great. Adding onto that, Andrew’s presence and touch ensured that this massage was exceptional. I will be booking Andrew again and also referring him to my friends. Gifted bodyworkers are not easy to find. Andrew is gifted+ and delivers a 5star massage.”
“As a professional drummer for the Sydney band Brown Sugar, I need regular massage to keep me agile and to relieve muscle tension, strains and inflammation. I have been a regular client of Andrew’s for over 10 years and I wouldn’t use anyone else. I’ve tried several masseuses over the years and no one can provide the same level of service and relief from pain. He’s trustworthy, reliable and always on time. Without Andrew I’d be watching Brown Sugar instead of performing for them:) Definitely the best massage service in the country!!!”
“I luckily found Andrew about 6 months ago after trying many different options to fix an old neck injury. I’m usually that annoying guy telling the masseuse what to do but after 20 minutes of not saying anything to him I was pretty sure he was ok. Well I’m now on my 6th 10 pack of massages now and can’t understate how good it is to feel semi normal again. He’s more than just a masseuse and does helpful muscle stretch technique that’s openned up my range a lot. He comes to my house which is more efficient and recommended him to many friends.”
“Andrew has been my masseuse since 2008. I have a chronic back injury so am extremely grateful that I can have a massage in the privacy of my own home. Apart from being a brilliant masseuse, he is kind and gentle and very professional whilst in your home. I would highly recommend him to anyone and I have over the years as he is just brilliant.”
“I did not know the true benefits you could receive from massage until I started seeing Andrew from Sydney Mobile Massage. I have now been seeing Andrew for the past three years for remedial and therapeutic massage and I recommend him highly.
I started seeing Andrew after major surgery on my spine involving disc removal and fusion. I had been in serious pain for about 7 years prior to surgery. After the surgery, the pain diminished but I had quite limited range of movement and was still in significant discomfort. I could barely move my neck and had nerve pain in my shoulder and one arm.
Andrew saw me in my home and, after just one treatment, I experienced significant relief. As treatments continued, the pain and discomfort receded to the point that I have normal movement and little discomfort. Andrew is not only skilful in massage techniques but knows how to get you to move with him while he penetrates deeper into the areas that are causing pain, thereby restoring good movement and releasing the pain. Andrew is highly intuitive and skilled and has been able to diagnose and implement treatment that has brought me to a good state of health and wellbeing. I have never felt better in my life and I have better health and movement now than I have had in over 9 years. I attribute this to the skilled massage that Andrew has provided to me.
Andrew is a compassionate, genuine and highly skilled massage practitioner, who has the best hands in Sydney.”
